The Community Adaptation Program is an immersive collaboration with local community nonprofits. Together, we create innovative enhancements that extend the nonprofit’s community reach and fortify its ability to continue providing essential services during times of local disasters.
With each local partner, we craft purposeful enhancements to boost their capacity, capability and continuity to provide vital services like health and mental health support, nutritious food and secure housing for underserved local families.
Partners lead the enhancement design process, leveraging their expertise and local knowledge.
We provide support, resources and expertise to ensure the partner’s vision guides the enhancement. We work together to create effective solutions that address community challenges and are sustainable.

As part of the worsening climate crisis, disasters are becoming more frequent and intense. In the last 10 years, over 8.5 million people were forced from their homes by extreme weather in the United States and the number of billion-dollar disasters has increased by 70%.
The climate crisis is disproportionately affecting lower-income families, older adults, diverse communities and people with disabilities.
